Palmer’s four goals against Everton saw him climb to the top of Premier League goalscorers alongside Erling Haaland this season. Palmer, who arrived from Manchester City for £42.5 million, has provided the club with a glimmer of sunlight during their struggling period.
However, as per Mirror, Palmer’s goals this season aren’t financially motivated after the forward took the penalty during a confrontation with other Chelsea teammates on the pitch.
Palmer has become a regular goalscorer this season, and none of his goals have come with an added bonus after no negotiating into his Blues’ contract. The former Manchester City forward signed a new deal worth £80,000 a week since his arrival at the club. He has since scored 23 goals across all competitions.
Despite no added bonus, Palmer has been key for the Blues when it comes to scoring goals during difficult times. But there have been moments when he has to confront his teammates during penalties as other Chelsea stars also fight to take spot-kicks.
The players have developed a routine around this, and Mauricio Pochettino needs to decide who will be responsible for penalties because our players can’t keep acting in this way because they’ll start making jokes about themselves.
Palmer has been a huge difference-maker for us in every game, even when there have been no penalties. We now have a formidable team in the league thanks to his arrival to the squad. The latest idea that he will receive a bonus from City when he scored a goal is untrue; there were no new clauses added to his contract dictating what would constitute a bonus.
Typically, a team adds a bonus when it sells a player, and the selling club gets bonuses when the player accomplishes particular objectives with the other team. Many didn’t expect Palmer to explode onto the scene this quickly, as he was barely rated during his time at City.
